Windows 10: Robocopy - Copying Files without Content?!

I use Robocopy frequently to copy large folder structures, recently I've found a situation where many files were copied, names, dates, sizes all match, but many are missing content. Some were .xml files so I can open those in Notepad and see the content is missing in the target/copied file compared to the source file. There are many other files types that this happened with. Users attempt to open the files and then error. There wasn't anything in the log that anything came up. When I've run another Robocopy nothing is found as different needing to recopy the files. Is there any bug or known is

Robocopy Error 2 - copyying folder in dropbox

I have successfully created and used the following batch file in windows10

robocopy C:\Users\Julie\Documents\Test C:\Users\Julie\Documents\accounts-backup
pause

However when I run the batch below to copy the contents of a folder in Dropbox I get

ERROR 2 (0x00000002) Accessing Source Directory C:\Users\Julie\Dropbox\accounts\
The system cannot find the file specified.

robocopy C:\Users\Julie\Dropbox\accounts C:\Users\Julie\Documents\accounts-backup
pause

Any suggestions to resolve this

Robocopy vs Copy-paste

Actually, that command won't list files that are not being copied BUT it lists all the directories that it traverses. To suppress that. simply tack on a /NDL (No Directory Listing).

In the sample output below, note that the folder I am mirroring has 820 directories and 2708 files. The folders are already synced so not a single file or directory is displayed in the output.
